Transposition of IS10R in Lactococcus lactis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aims: To characterize the transposition mechanism of the IS-element IS 10 R and study how this element is involved in gene disruption in Lactococcus lactis .
Methods and Results: The gene flciA confers immunity against lactococcin A in lactococci. However, the immunity function was lost when flciA was co-expressed with the regulator gene nisR on a plasmid in L. lactis NZ9000. By PCR and DNA sequencing, it was revealed that flciA in immune-negative transformants was disrupted by the IS-element IS 10 R. Such gene disruption did not occur when flciA was expressed alone nor when the plasmid-located nisR was mutated, suggesting that nisR is directly involved in the transposition. The sequence 5'-CACTTAACC-3', which was found in flciA and at both ends of the inserted IS 10 R, was identified as target site by site-directed mutagenesis.
Conclusions: IS 10 R transposes in L. lactis NZ9000 in a nisR -dependent fashion and employs the sequence 5'-CACTTAACC-3' as integration site.
Significance and Impact of the Study: To our knowledge, this is the first time IS 10 R and aspects of its transposition are described in the industrial important bacterium L. lactis . The highly controllable insertion of IS 10 R into a target site might present a great potential as a gene disruption system. 相似文献
